Wycombe Museum

Wycombe Museum occupies Castle Hill House on Priory Avenue and displays the history of furniture making and local objects across several galleries. The building overlooks a park and holds exhibitions ranging from Windsor chairs to photographs and documents spanning different periods.

This museum was founded to document and preserve the furniture making tradition that shaped this town for several centuries. Management transferred to Wycombe Heritage and Arts Trust in 2016, showing how the community now supports the preservation of this history.

The collections here tell the story of how furniture manufacturing shaped daily life and community identity in this town over centuries. You can see how craftsmanship became central to how people understood themselves and their place in the region.

The museum is open Tuesday to Friday and Sunday and offers free admission for all visitors. The site has a park with walking paths and an onsite cafe where you can rest during your visit.

The museum holds video recordings of furniture makers at work, showing how traditional craftsmanship was actually practiced. These rare recordings give you a direct sense of how work unfolded in the workshops.
